This is so weird, why is he now releasing new music on Spotify when he just took all his music off there and appeared to move to Tidal. I'm not complaining per se as I have a Spotify account so it's obviously better for me than if he did put the song exclusively on Tidal, but it seems to be completely at odds with his recent actions. Regardless, looking forward to checking out the song, do we think this is going to be on the new album?

There was never anything official from his camp regarding that. Folks speculated and ran with that he was tidal exclusive. I think he is testing the waters and making sure he's paid accordingly.

Yeah, that's true I guess, still feels like a bizzare decision though, to me it just intuitively makes sense to have one unified place, be that a streaming site or a store, where you can access all of his material rather than having it in drips and drabs all over the place. Although tbh a lot of Prince's decisions on that regard never made much sense to me, so whatever I don't really care a whole lot as long as I can listen to the music at the end of the day. Anyway, song itself is pretty good, nothing fantastic but it's a decent funky jam with nice bass. Lyrics aren't to my taste but that seems to pretty much be the case with most of his material nowadays so I don't really care too much.

Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

It's been about an hour...where's Bart to tell everyone how bad this is and how anyone who likes it is a flawed human being?

Oh look, more imaginary bullshit and projection. No, it's famz who proclaim that people who don't adore Prince's latest brainfart are bad people. I've never said so.

No I reckon thats you pretty much nailed, now is it shit or not?

Then PROVE IT. Link to quotes where I do what I'm accused of.

.

I can do it easily: Militant basically ordered everyone to adore AOA or else you weren't a good fan. Hell, EVERY TIME there's a bit of criticism the famz attack anyone who dares to publsih such vile words about their hero. Hell, this very thread wasn't a page old and already somebody was preliminarily attacking me.

.

Here's an idea: STICK TO THE TOPIC instead of making baseless personal attacks.

Nice song, with lots of references to classics like Kiss and Sexy dancer. Overall really funky with cool horns. But not as much staying power as Hardrocklover.

Hardrocklover has staying power? Didn't impress me one bit and Stare is 'meh' as well... I am afraid my Prince virus is only coming back to live when he's in town.

Ok its growing on me already after a couple of listens with headphones. I love the music and beat to this. The bass is great of course . And is the highlight for me. Just wish he would work harder on the lyrics and make a song that makes sense. A beginning , middle and end. Its not as good as Hardrocklover which i really like alot. Its a grower i think.

No,Bart isn't "mad" kiddo,he's just honest-you should try it.

You are the kind of sheep that would gladly bend over anytime of the day or night and take a huge purple load all over your lovezone.You and all of your 'lil purple fanboys are quite disgusting but also really entertaining.

Back the fuck up off Bart for 2 seconds and get a clue.

Bart was a Princeophile before you were even born kiddo,show some respect.

You fucking millenial wimps kill me with your softness.

You wimps need to harden up,not everyone on this site smokes purple dick.

Wow! You have quite a vocabulary. "Dick", "Princeophile"? You should be proud. I have another one for you. How about "Turd"?

Pretty safe to assume this guy isn't going to be curing cancer or performing brain surgery anytime soon...

I don't mind what he was trying to do here at all. I just think the horn lines serve no purpose to the song since the melody is kind of weak - it overpowers. If it was an instrumental I'd like it more.
I wish he had a better (maening paying attention) arranger for horns, I liked Leeds a lot for that or imagine a Trombone Shorty vibe.
I hear a lot of potential in what he has done recently but he really has a hard time breaking outside his box. Its a huge box, but a box. One of the tihngs that helps is having someone with enough of a track record and the balls (or uterus) to tell him when something is meh and not feel like they are at risk of being fired/let go. Ot he puts away all his tools and favorite instruments and makes a record with none of those crutches. I'm sure this stuff sounds badass on huge speakers in a studio but it acheives being a nice side dish of little treats, not a meal. Does feel like he's making an effort.

Just my opinion.
